Oh without meds that would be very difficult. I don't have to take meds right now for my depression only my disability that causes the depression. The way I cope when the depression becomes severe and the negative self talk will not quiet down is I sometimes find it helpful to listen to calming music while I'm lying down resting. I focus on relaxing all my muscles and focus on each area of my body to help me let go of the stress. I often will fall asleep and take a nap. I then begin to focus on the positive of each negative that enters my mind until the negative quiets down. I'm just sorry you are trying to cope without needed medication. Gentle ((())) - Patricia
